The point is that you treating IP marketing as something 'natural' or a 
'default route' which it is not and can never be. Natural is to receive 
some addresses from the RIR in first place so they are treated as anyone 
else was in the past and have a chance to exist in the Internet with 
same conditions as all others. From that if they need extra space then 
fine to seek for alternative ways.

I don't think a new entrants would automatically qualify for 4.10 in all 
cases therefore any space left should be targeted also to them as well 
to IPv6 transition and critical infrastructure. Otherwise the community 
will be creating an artificial barrier to them in order to favor the IP 
market while the RIR still has IPv4 space available for them.
